# Set up the solution — lay the right foundations

### The three fundamental pillars

Setting up Steeple rests on three pillars: **customize the solution**, **manage members**, **configure the screens**.

### Step 1: Platform customization

#### Initial audit

Identify the existing tools (WhatsApp, newsletters, paper displays…) to be replaced by Steeple.

#### Priority apps to activate

| App       | Replaces                  | Objective              |
| --------- | ------------------------- | ---------------------- |
| Posts     | Paper display, newsletter | Centralize information |
| Messaging | WhatsApp, SMS             | Secure exchanges       |
| Documents | HR Drive, SharePoint      | Manage Documents       |
| Jobs      | HR Excel spreadsheets     | Promote mobility       |
| Feeds     | LinkedIn, informal Feeds  | Share the culture      |
| Calendar  | Emails, Doodle            | Organize events        |

#### Additional modules

* Idea box (centralize suggestions)
* Safety/performance indicators (display KPIs)
* Directory (find colleagues)
* Room booking
* Well-being at work

### Step 2: Member management

#### Add employees

* **Methods** : Excel import, manual creation, or SSO
* **Roles** : define leads, moderators, contributors
* **Tracking** : identify active users and follow up with inactive ones

#### Structure the organization

* Create **communities** (by site, team, profession)
* Define **departments** and **locations**
* Ensure a **targeted visibility** of messages

#### Device mapping

* **Mobile devices** : QR code or invitation link
* **Desktop computers** : browser access
* **Without email** : unique access code

### Step 3: Screen and access deployment

#### Site audit

Determine the number of screens needed per area:

* **Workshops** : schedule, safety, team info
* **Reception** : corporate news, Jobs
* **Break rooms** : fun and cultural content

#### Hardware setup

* **On computer** : set Steeple as the browser homepage, add to favorites, integrate into the IT package
* **On mobile** : install the app, create a shortcut on the home screen, verify activation

#### Shortcuts module

Create a gateway to frequently used business tools:

* **Leave management** : Silae, Lucca
* **Scheduling** : Snapshift, Google Calendar
* **Training** : 360Learning
* **IT support** : Freshdesk
